Abraham Lincoln - 1,920 words
Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was born on
February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. When he was two,
the Lincolns moved a few miles to another farm on
the old Cumberland Trail. A year later, his mother
gave birth to another boy, Thomas, but he died a
few days later. When Lincoln was seven his family
moved to Indiana. In 1818, Lincolns mother died

following July. In the fall of 1836 he and Mrs.
Bennett Abell had a deal that if she brought her
single sister to New Salem he had to promise to
marry her. When ...

John Constable - 1,673 words
John Constable What made Constable different from
the majority of his contemporaries was his
attitude towards the things that he saw. He was
not, like so many other landscape artists, a
conscious seeker of the picturesque. As an artist
he was virtually self-taught and his periods of
formal study amounted to little more than process
of directive discipline. His real master was his
own sensitive and perceptive eye (Peacock, 15). It
was through a study of nature rather than by a
study of academic principles that his artistic
philosophy was evolved. It was at East Bergholt on
the Suffolk side of the river Stour on 11 June
1776 that artist John Constable was born. The
house where John was born is ...

getting worse in the United States and the rest of
the world. Introduction Although more people die
of heart disease and cancer each year, AIDS has
become the health problem people fear the most.
Much of the fear comes from ignorance and
misunderstanding. Education is the most effective
tool against AIDS. It is more important than ever
for young people to learn the facts about AIDS.
Many teenagers don't know anyone who has AIDS. It
is hard for them to believe they are at risk. It
is a fact that the incidence of AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases is on a rapid rise
among teens and peopl ...

The Life And Works Of Frederick Chopin - 1,161 words
... ere difficult to learn, and their musical form
and content puzzled contemporary musicians. It is
a measure of Chopin's stature that publishers not
only printed these pieces but also paid
substantial sums for them, even though they were
unlikely to reap an immediate profit. Chopin's
music sold so well that publishers were obliged to
reprint his works frequently in order to keep up
with demand. Most of these reissues used the
plates from the first editions; and since printed
scores of this period almost never bore
publication dates, later printings are often
distinguished only by changes on the title pages,
such as the price or the publisher's address.
However, there are frequently alterat ...
